Wrong, GSP without a doubt.. There is a clear cut P4P Champion now in my mind. Jones hasn't beaten the guys GSP has, and although as dominant as GSP and finishing more fights and is undefeated, GSP redeemed both his losses and has done way, way more..GSP has been on top way longer than Jones.

I don't know about Jones being number 1. Jones is already huge for his weight-class AND his last two defenses were against middleweights... GSP has won 11 UFC title fights, Aldo has won 7, and Jones has won 6.

He hasn't done enough, especially lately, to be considered the pound for pound king imo.

Woah woah woah... That would mean Dana would have to be fair and logical... Not gonna happen. But more importantly, who cares what Dana thinks.

You're right, Jones has beaten better competition.

You take everything into account with p4p, with losses to Serra and Hughes, and with steady but declining performances against different grades of competition, GSP has lost ground in the p4p rankings.

Jones has this by a mile, he's destroyed a who's who of MMA elite 205 and former champions. His only black eye (don't be racist) was the DQ to Hammill. Totally his fault, but he was DESTROYING Hammill.

JJ = p4p #1 atm omg lol bai!

"I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road."

His only black eye is massive holes in his skillset that he overcomes with size advantages.
You know, the skill sets that p4p should be based upon in the first place.

I don't even have Jones as top 3.

All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

So you completely ignored the parenthesis as always Rivet. I don't care if Jones is 8 foot 14 with a 6 hour range, plenty of fighters have physical advantages that go under utilized because of their lack of construction. Jones has shown great wrestling, great, meaning effective, striking ability, and he's utterly wasted guys many people considered to be too polished, too experienced, better strikers, or better grapplers.

But that's not what I'm focusing on. I'm saying if we lay out who GSP has fought and how he's fought and won vs. who Jon Jones has fought and how he's fought and won... Jon Jones takes it from GSP.

If you want to rate Aldo and his buzz-cut face ahead of Jones, sure, Aldo is a dancer, poetry in motion. If you still want to rate Anderson for his fluidity, longevity, and lethality, I get it... I do.

But Jones is p4p A-1 US-grade all-pro greatest fighter in the UFC history of the present now my spike-clad friend. He is GSP's dark place, and don't you forget it!
